What thread and seat type do you need? They're not all the same.

I can't recommend the use of alloy wheel nuts on cars at all. Only way it would be OK is if you only move the car between garage and show stand on a trailer. If you want to drive the car, then fit proper steel ones before taking it on the road or track. You won't find any as the possibly of some idiot using them on the road makes them a major product liability.

Demon Tweeks sell them, not cheap though, work out at least £7 each.

There is a slight difference betwen "alloy wheel" nuts and "nice alloy nuts".

These are the only "Alloy nuts" I found on Demon tweeks. M5 & M6 won't fit a wheel stud.

Duh, obviously. Page 397 of the 2006 motorsport catalogue. Forged alloy competition nuts,

60% lighter than steel, 19mm hexagon, M12x1.25 or 1.5, 60deg taper seat, set of 4 from £23.89+VAT. Not everything they sell is on the website.

DUH "competition", high maintenance, will last about 1 season or maybe a 1 month on the road. Then your wheels fall off.

What's the problem, why do you think the wheels will just "fall off"?

1 season of motorsport use would probably be nearer 100,000 miles of road use rather than 1 month.
